A Liberty woman faces two felony charges after allegedly cutting a man’s face with a kitchen knife Friday night at a Russell Springs church.
Russell County Deputy Sheriff Matt Parrish arrested Yolanda Mendez Gutierrez, 42, after a 911 call prompted officers to respond to Iglesia Maranatha, a Hispanic church at 1655 U.S. 127, near Russell Springs Elementary School.
Gutierrez allegedly used a kitchen knife to cut the man’s face. Deputy Parrish told WJRS NEWS the victim declined medical treatment and ambulance transport.
Gutierrez was lodged in the Russell County Detention Center on charges of second-degree assault and first-degree wanton endangerment.
